PRB: Setup from Setup Wizard May Install OCX in Wrong Folder

MORE INFORMATION

For more information on distributing applications and the Setup Wizard please see chapters 25 and 26 in the Developer's Guide.

The following Steps to Reproduce Behavior assume that you have already created an application that uses .ocx controls.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create the following Directory structure:

       MyApp
        |
        |--Controls

2. Place your .exe in the MyApp folder.
3. Place the .ocxs your application uses in the Controls folder.
4. Run the Setup Wizard.
5. Use the MyApp folder for the Distribution Tree Directory in Step 1 of the Setup Wizard.
6. On Step 6 make sure the .ocxs show WinSysDir as the TargetDir and that the OLE check box is selected.
7. When the Setup Wizard finishes installing the application on a machine that does not have Visual FoxPro or your .ocxs installed on it.

The Setup program installs all the files and just before it finishes trying to update the system files you get the following error message: If you look at the Windows\System folder you will see a folder under it named Controls. Inside the Controls folder is the .ocx files. Setup is looking for the .ocx files in the System folder, and when it does not find them there, it can't register them.
